We are releasing a new VirusTotal version, most of you will not notice much of a change (other than the new layout), nonetheless, it is full of exciting features. So as to describe them, we are also launching this new blog.

The most noticeable difference is in its backstage, we have moved to Google App Engine. We expect this to bring transparent scalability and high availability (cross your fingers) to VirusTotal. Some months ago we migrated our private API to Google's infrastructure and we could not be happier with the decision, we have forgotten about administration and we can now focus exclusively on coding.

Bloody hell!! The slogan on their blog is just ... Inside VirusTotal's Pants... Disgusting...

Anyway... I see they added new services in their URL scanning, such as Spyeye and Zeus trackers. They took away BitDefender, though. They don't explain why it was removed. Was it their decision or BitDefender requested it to be removed?
